Steering Wheel Question
 

Will a steering wheel off a 70's Nova,Vega etc. fit my 68 C10. Any issues with the horn, column? Thanks to all!

Re: Steering Wheel Question
 

Yes. It should bolt right up. No problem.

Agree. It should bolt right up. The only glitch would be, depending on the wheel chosen, wiring the horn contact. I don't know if the Vega wheels require any modifications for the horn. I used a 94 S10 Blazer LT leather wrapped wheel and have some pics of how I wired the horn which may help depending on your wheel.

Don't '67,68,69 have the smaller splined shaft and later bigger? Does the same go for GM cars?

Re: Steering Wheel Question
 

No the wheels will work from way back[early 60's I'm sure of] to way forward to 94 and beyond the splines are still the same after the 94 model year it is just that most wheels went funky looking air-bag were installed. Jim

One of the beauties of GM is so much parts interchangeability. Did you know the glovebox latches in our trucks are the exact same one as in a '55 Chevy Belair? Not only those, but just a for instance.

Why do the aftermarket wheel adapters change after '69 then? That's why I thougt they were different.

Re: Steering Wheel Question
 

Parts inside the column change, not the steering wheel shaft diameter, or spline count though. I just purchased a grant wheel adapter for a tilt column. The previous hub is flat on the back side, the new one has a machined recess. Same diameter, same thread count.

I'm tempted to hijack this thread to #itch about the 3 spoke grant that I sent back after one week.

I just did... consider it a public service announcement. :lol:

I'm on the hunt too. I'll be hitting the junk yards for my next wheel.

Ahhhh...gotcha! Thanks for the info.

Re: Steering Wheel Question
 

Many of us are aware of the Grant wheel problems! A much better option is just about ANY original or GM repro wheels. Their horn functionality is superior.

Re: Steering Wheel Question
 

I am now also skeptical of the repos, reading mixed opinions; just like with the grant. I even made plastic flat springs so the horn would work independent of the cap cover. But the wood joints separated. I initially thought if I licked the horn issue(cap pops off horn blows) I would be good to go. Not the case.
